For most of my life I had always wanted to have the ability to go back in time and change certain things. My life was full of regrets and sadness for the thing I didn’t do, should have done and of course the things I shouldn’t have done. My habit was to look at the past and blame it for any of my current un-happiness. Even when things were going good I always felt they could have been even better if I (fill in the blank).
However, a couple of years ago things started to change. I started to think about my life and how great it was and if changed anything from the past then I wouldn’t be were I was right now – and I LIKED where I was! This moment of clarity hit me like a ton of bricks – I started to piece together my life and all of the events I looked back on and wished I could change, whether good or bad these events are what made me who I was and I all of a sudden really liked who I was. Every event of the past became a positive – if I studied harder in school I probably wouldn’t have worked at the place where I met my wife, Laila. No Laila no Sean, Alanna and Kamran.
So that brings me to today where I live my life with very little regret and the comfort in knowing that every choice I made in my life led me to this exact moment of happiness. Of course there are things in the past I wish I could change but I can’t, so all I can is just look toward the future.
